TAMPA

Man's homicide

is ruled justifiable

A pistol-packing jogger will not be charged for shooting and killing a teenager who attacked him during a midnight run.

Hillsborough County prosecutors say Florida's "stand-your-ground" law was a factor in their decision.

They said Tuesday they are convinced Thomas Baker acted in self defense when he fired eight shots at 18-year-old Carlos Mustelier in November.

The law, passed in 2005, gives people the right to use deadly force as long as they "reasonably believe" it is necessary to stop another person from hurting them.

Baker told police he reached for his gun when the teenager punched him in the face.

Baker has a concealed weapons permit.

The teenager was hit in the chest, back and buttocks. He died at the scene.

MIDWAY

Pastor at church beaten and robbed

A pastor was kicked, beaten and robbed as he left his Seminole County church.

Authorities say 47-year-old Leonard Lee Wilson was confronted by two masked men as he walked to his vehicle parked outside St. Matthew's Missionary Baptist Church about 4:15 a.m. Wednesday. Wilson said he had stayed late to prepare for a meeting.

The men, one armed with a handgun, kicked and punched Wilson. Seminole County Sheriff's deputies say the robbers ordered the pastor back inside the church, where the beating continued.

The robbers took Wilson's wallet, keys, two laptop computers and a small cash box.
